Why check what theme a Moodle site is running
Moodle is the learning management system behind a huge share of university portals, corporate training platforms, and self-hosted online courses. Its theming is less visually varied than a typical marketing site's, but that consistency is exactly what makes spotting a well-executed Boost child theme worth noting — most Moodle installs still run defaults, so a customized one stands out.
How Moodle theme detection actually works
Moodle exposes its configuration, including the active theme name, through an inline M.cfg JavaScript object present on every page. The Websites Detector reads this object directly, the same data Moodle's own front-end JavaScript depends on to load the right assets.
What you can do with the results
For LMS administrators, this is a quick way to see how peer institutions have customized their own Moodle deployments. For developers building Moodle themes, it's a way to find real-world examples of a theme in production rather than only in documentation screenshots.
A note on limitations
Moodle sites that require login to view any page — a common setup for private corporate training portals — block detection entirely, since no public page is available to read the theme configuration from.
